According to OrchidWiz/Bakers ang-thong is a registered species - but as a pseudonym for Paph godefroyae. Yours is Paph mystic isle and was registered in 1988. I am surprised that the label was not corrected.

You shouldn't be surprised, since:
Botanist do not have much else to do, but revise names.
And:
Nurseries do not make money on changing labels (if they are even aware of the changes). Also, many nursery people are somewhat hung up on traditional names; my dad called Paphiopedilums Cypripediums well into the 1970's.
